Measuring Viscosity in Paints, Coatings, and Inks

Cambridge Viscosity Helps to Ensure the Consistent Quality of Paints, Coatings, and Inks

Coatings, paints, and inks are complex fluids that must be formulated and used within strict parameters to achieve the desired film weight, thickness, and image characteristics. For these fluids, proper viscosity is a key requirement to consistently delivering the desired end product quality, maintain smooth-running equipment, and optimize material use.

Cambridge Viscosity helps manufacturers and commercial users of coatings, paints, and inks to monitor and control viscosity in any conditions. Our accurate, reliable, and self-cleaning sensors—coupled with temperature-compensated viscosity equations built into our software—ensure product quality, clarity and resolution of desired images, proper and uniform film thickness, and optimization of throughput processing rates. These benefits apply to all coatings, paints, and ink processes, including dip, spray, roll, or flow.
